Luckily, ergosphere is doing me a solid and implementing the code changes neccessary to get fighters to fly around for their full flight time and follow you around. It should look pretty cool, and it will definitely be a welcome addition to Fleet Commander's. EDIT: Yeah, it looks awesome. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/ ... nknown.png https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/ ... nknown.png https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/ ... nknown.png https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/ ... nknown.png https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/ ... nknown.png

Fighter gens are easy... Making fighters do more than wet sock DPS was a really big project, though.

Oh.. I like these changes... What i missed most from long ago was having slave swarms being viable... Now fighters will put the fleet back in fleet commander again.

Here are some more screenshots: NOTE: The electricity has been drastically increased to about 1.6k these auras. https://snag.gy/qgwvPK.jpg https://snag.gy/I9gbLF.jpg https://snag.gy/25uReg.jpg

Please tell me you're not actually putting the Offensive field in with stats that OP? People will just have one as a slave then run an RoF aura or elec aura on their main ship and get ridiculous damage.

Oh my god flat +150 damage is extremely overpowered please don't do that. Or actually, please do so. I will definately enjoy playing with it >:D As a serious note, +flat damage is a horrible idea because of performance. It makes people put max rof MF abstructor setups on slave swarm with max fighters. That amount of projectiles will not be healthy for the server especially if/when people MC several FCs.

Capital Ship slaves have been unable to use their capship equipped auras for yearrssss. That was an issue a couple of devs took an extreme paranoia to back when capships were introduced. They saw an 8 man squad, one for each class, with an frigate/cruiser combat slave each with their class respective aura. Travel Fields and general purpose weak auras like Mini Madness are exempt from this rule.

The bonuses aren't that much. The Sniper's blind device gives +1000 damage. As long as it isn't 150% you haven't got a problem, though just adding raw numbers without percentages is a bit stupid.

100% field gen power puts this at 300. Amp at least doubles it with the new balance afaik. 600 x 10 fighters is 6000 damage per shot. Call it half max rof at .2, that's 30,000 dps from fighters. Max swarm is like 12-15? Call it 12. Max rof abstructors or sum, that's 60 abstructor points 10 times a second, making it 600 points a second. *600 is 360,000. To me, these numbers in my brain seem to be high, but theyre not in the billions or anything. Also consider the margins of error on things. With a well placed amp and live fighters, that fighter damage figure could be 10x. Also keep in mind 12 slaves would theoretically be individually squishy. Question: Can we please please please name all of the new base stuff English words? Please I beg of you oh holy devs, I will sell my soul

How does the +150 flat damage apply?
